KATE WHO?




KATE WHO?: A collection of 18 photographs of Kate Moss by Mario Testino, which went on show last week in London. All images are life size and for sale, although I'd recommend trying to get your hands on the book 'Kate Moss by Mario Testino' instead. Only 1500 have been printed and all have been numbered and signed, although I wouldn't be surprised they'll be snapped up as soon as they're released at the end of this month.

She is timeless.


Strippers from the future.

Doing my daily browse of celebrity gossip websites, I was stunned to come across one 16 year old Taylor Momsen donning Perspex heels with the word "Tips" printed on it and dollars inside the see-through sole. I hate to say it but I'm torn between revulsion and a quiet respect I reserve only for genius.

Regardless of the confusing black toe and heel combination, (I'm sorry but what is going on there?! How has she done that? I am probably being unbearably slow but it is actually boggling my mind.) I did my bit of research and see-through accessories are a massive YES for this years Autumn/Winter catwalk. All be my observation rather belated, (I apologise again for the lack of posts) Prada, Michael Kors and Fendi all dared to bare with their transparent shoes, bags and jewellery.

N.B. Yeah so...apparently she's wearing tights? I'm fashionably retarded.

Wise words.

Every now and then I fall apart.

Yeah, so, where the fuck have I been? In bloody Windsor, that's where. I apologise for the lack of updates, but the two and a half hour commute there and back every day has been destroying me. I've been sent there in order to train for my new job role, I've made some really good friends and I'm really enjoying it. 3 weeks down, 4 to go - one of which will be spent basking in the rays in southern spain and I can't wait!
In other news, I recently went to The Clothes Show, as my friend managed to get a couple of free passes. In between swooning over George and Larry Lamb and pushing our way through crowds of 13 year old girls, we managed to get seated in the theatre for The Fashion Show. The majority of the pieces had drawn inspiration from this season, rather than next, so I wasn't particularly awed by any of it, although there were a few pieces which stood out for me, shown below. You could see Lady Gaga's influence through out, and I thought there were some Harajuku girl touches in some pieces as well. Also, I can't resist a good Slanket outfit.

N.B. I apologise for the poor quality of these photos, I have no excuse.
